KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Joe Allen, early season review

Ok we will call him a holding midfielder,Gerrard and sahin are the creative CMs in that squad,do you want Reina to get up the pitch aswell? 3 forwards ,two offensive midfielders and two full backs attacking more than Allen is asked to.

Oh and he is 5' 7" tall,not going to win to many headers either.

People criticised Spearing because he couldn't control the ball or even pass it the three feet that you say Allen does.

And keeping the ball certainly isn't going to hurt our chances of winning games. How can the opposition score if we keep the ball? You're just latching onto something else to moan about.

Height has very little to do with winning headers. It's about timing.

Not really. I'm looking at reasons why we aren't very good and I believe that he's instrumental in that.

Finally, you ask "how can the opposition score if we keep the ball"? a bit of foolish question to ask considering every team bar stoke has managed to score against us with ease.
